People are Talking
Tampa Bartender Jack Sarver has been really packing them in at Radar Bar in Tampa! Every Sunday Dan's cooking has been WOW ing the increasing crowds. At The Suncoast Resort, the new crazy "The Chutes and Ladders" game is being played everywhere. Who would have thought the game could be such fun! The audiences at the Tea Cups Thursday Happy Hour Party  in the Wedgewood Lounge has turned into quite the Trannie night. It's good to see the girls have found a home that welcomes them so open heartedly! Sunday's at Wrangler's has just welcomed Daphne Ferraro to the cast. We just love Daphne's character "Nacho Ordinary Queen"! This show was already wild, now it will be insanely fun!  Kris Doubles from Grand Central Station has been entertaining the crowds at the new production performance of "Hair".  The New Christopher Street Bar had its Grand Opening and what a Grand Opening! Congratulations bar owner Chris. Rumor has it that there was quite the show in the men's room at Georgie's Alibi! Next time call us!  Miss Tiffany Alegra, from Daytona Beach was spotted at the "Sin & the City" show in the Lunar Lounge. This week Alexis Mateo was the special guest at the show. Miss Pamela was bartending at G. Bar. Wonder who wore who out? Or was it ....Straight boys fighting over straight Pamela in a gay bar? Only in Tampa!   Finally the artist Clayton Hood, formally known as "Miss Who Cares" was spotted searching for his friend, "Miss Lemooon" at the Lunar. Guess he didn't get the memo.....She is in rehab! Again....

Lorenzo & Schweickert, An Ongoing Grisly Bay Area Story
Late Friday nite Scott Schweickert  was given his fate by a Federal Jury into the disappearances of 2 Tampa Bay area Gay Men missing in December 2003, Michael Wachholtz and Jason Galehouse, both 26. Schweickert can face up to 40 years in prison. His counterpart and conspirer Steven Lorenzo was sentenced on similar Federal charges to 200 years in prison back in Nov 2005. Both missing men were picked up at the leather bar, 2606. Both missing men were taken to Lorenzo's North Tampa home where they were drugged, tortured and killed. Wachholtz body was found 2 weeks later in an apartment complex  but Jason Galehouse body hasn't been found. The Schweickert charges of 2 counts of conspiracy with Steven Lorenzo and to administer a drug, GHB  to Michael Wachholtz. The 2 missing men have had posters up in stores and bars all around the Tampa Bay area. During the trial Schweickert made mention he had seen a poster of the missing men at a store front (MC FILM) at Suncoast Resort in late December 2003. Now will the State Prosecutors Office step up and charge these 2 men with the murders? The Tampa Bay Gay Community wants to know! Another gay man is still missing. Bradley Williams has been missing from Tampa since 1998.

Great Restaurants
This week we have two Great Restaurants to highly recommend. Voted the best grouper sandwich in the Bay Area. "Groupers Seafood Grill" located in the Thunderbird Hotel on Treasure Island Beach. Grouper's is owned by Renee, who may be caught parting at the Wedgewood on Thursdays! The restaurant is fun, the menu is excellent and the view of the gulf is WOW! To find Groupers, take Central Ave in St. Petersburg, straight West to the beach and you will drive right into it! FMI www.ThunderbirdFlorida.com
 
 Quite by accident we found the next restaurant. "717 South" , located in the SoHo District at 717 S. Howard Ave in Tampa. This restaurant serves Italian with a Pacific Rim flair. The night we were there all 5 of us could not stop raving about the meal from appetizers to desert! This classy European stop will definitely impress your next date or future ones! Be sure a to visit their beautiful web site at www.717south.com
 

NOW OPEN....GROUPERS SEAFOOD GRILL
Enjoy Seafood and Sunsets at Treasure Island's newest Casual Seafood restaurant in Thunderbird Beach Resort. Serving Breakfast at 7 am, Lunch and Dinner til 9 pm. Also serving Poolside and on the Patio. Banquet and Meeting space available with courtyard and beach view. You'll not want to miss our Fresh Seafood and mouthwatering daily specials!
 
 
Confederate General Robert E. Lee was Born 200 Years Ago,
 Hillsborough County Commissioners Make Proclamation !!!!!
Enough already with the crazy antics of the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioner. Besides making a national mockery of themselves about the "No acknowledgement, or promotion to a gay pride event in Hillsborough County" they now want to have a County Proclamation to honor the Confederate General Robert E. Lee on his 200 year birthday for all of 2007! Commission Chairman Jim Norman read the " Year of Lee"  Proclamation. I guess it is same-o  same-o with the newly elected local politicians again! What's next???

From Lincoln Calcavecchi, Mr. Gulf Coast Florida Leather 2006
 
Hello Everyone!
 
The time has come for me to step down and hand the leather title over to someone new.  I know not all of you receiving this will be able to attend due to distance or other commitments, yet I send it anyway for  your information.
 
The Mr. Chicago Leather and the Texas Flesh and Fantasy weekend are concurrent with my contest; it can't be helped.  I wish the best to everyone and peace and prosperity in 2007!
